GFR are sad to announce that for the next month at least all runs, training sessions and socials are cancelled.

Our committee have put together the following statement;

It is with great sadness that GFR are putting out this statement. Today, the First Minister along with the Health Minister and Chief Medical Officer updated the Scottish public with updated guidance, the key points of which are;

• Individuals should self isolate if you have symptoms (for 14 days) - An entire household should also isolate themselves, if someone at home has symptoms (for 14 days)

• Everyone should curb non-essential social contact, working from home, avoiding travel, pubs, cinemas etc and, with Social distancing for those at greatest risk.

Full details can be found on the Scottish Government’s Website; www.gov.scot/coronavirus

As such, our committee have reached the conclusion that the right thing to do just now is to cancel all of our runs for the next month at least. We know how important running is to our members and as such we would encourage you to continue running by yourself or in small groups.

A massive point to make is that we are more than just a running club, if you’re struggling just now and need some help and advice please get in touch with a member of the committee, in confidence.

The Committee continues to monitor the situation and will keep members fully updated.
